Sorry for not being able to participate
is grammatically correct. One should use only noun after a preposition. Therefore, gerund (verb + ing) is the right choice. However, if you want to use 'been', in this case, the following sentence works, too:
Sorry for not having been able to participate...
hope it helps.
